Dennis Rodman will always be a Detroit Piston first
Dennis Rodman played for five different teams throughout his Hall of Fame career, but the Detroit Pistons will always be home.
Between the Lakers-Celtics rivalry of the 1980s and the Chicago Bulls Dynasty of the 1990s, the Detroit Pistons’ “Bad Boys” ruled the NBA for two seasons. Among the core of Chuck Daly’s Pistons was Dennis Rodman.
Before becoming one of the most unique and complicated stars in NBA history, he was just a 1986 second-round draft pick by the Detroit Pistons. Over the next six seasons, during the “Bad Boys” era, Rodman cemented himself as one of the best defensive players as well as one of the most historic rebounders in NBA history.
